ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

This workshop will provide participants with an overview of hypnosis, identify trance states that our clients experience, and specifically focus on the use of hypnotic language to maximize the results of interventions, and treatment.

Instances of spontaneous trance are normal occurrences, e.g. highway hypnosis, or becoming so absorbed in reading a book or doing a project that if someone talks to you, you might not hear them. In addition to these, however, our clients suffer regularly with very unsettling trance states, such as anxiety attacks, flashbacks, dissociative symptoms, numbness, and the experience of active ego states, just to name a few.

Treatment modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) arguably could be described as using trance states. The former through the use of safe space imagery, containers, float backs, and some cognitive interweaves; and the latter through the use of ego states.

The focus of this program will be on helping our clients learn to rework symptoms into coping skills, and on learning to use the power of words to help with healing. This workshop will be a combination of lecture and practicum.
